Real estate in the Catskills symbolizes a traditional and slower way of life.
We recreate that romantic house on the hill with our new old designs. Fireplaces, wrap-around porches, wide plank floors and vintage fixtures are only the beginning of these Catskill real estate offerings.
Catskill Farms has saved more than a few families from the 'this old house fantasy'.
We build homes that work - from day 1.

Gloom and Doom - Yawn.

Wow, for 2 fricking years there has been nothing but one bad real estate related event after another, and now with a 1000 pt drop in the Dow in 2 days things have really taken a turn for the worse. Luckily, I don't own stock - I am very undiversified in real estate, truly taking the contrarian approach to things.

At least if it all goes to pot, and the world collapses, we can all hide out in our country homes, living off the land from our little garden, chopping down a tree or two on our 5+ acres, and burning candles if the eletric grid goes down.

Made a round of calls today to our 6 families waiting for their homes to assure them Catskill Farms is well-capitalized, and we are building away.

And here is a sad example of how we country folk entertain ourselves over the cabin fever winter months.

I knew I lived in the country when I heard the ads for Vegas Gold on the radio, a local 'stripper club' - their competitive advantage - yes, say it loud and say it proud - was that their 'dancers have teeth.'
